The federal state of Upper Austria has a problem with its tourism industry. The overnight stays experience a dramatic decrease. There was a minus of 4,2 percent between May and July. In numbers: 10.000 visitors fewer with a minus of 92.000 over night stays.

There is no difference between domestic and foreign guests. The interesting thing about this statistics is the fact that almost all other provinces in Austria have increasing guests and overnight stays. For example Vienna has an increase of even 13 percent in arrivals. The reason why Upper Austria is doing so bad is unknown. Critical observers claim that Upper Austria just became too expensive in the past months.
